I'm glad you enjoyed the game! Even adding a lot of warnings, I've heard complaints about the level of degradation. It's sad that the warnings might be turning some people away, but I'd rather be safe than listen to bitching.
I personally don't think my game is that rough.
I'm assuming you played as dom only?
As for MC and Tyler's relationship during the dom route... I have somewhat different plans, although I like your viewpoint.
I also tried the sub route but I only skimmed through it.
It's just not my cup.
For me, your novel is not about dom or sub.
It's a question of survival.
I'm not even much interested in the sexual content.
If MC has to become a bully in order to survive so be it.
And in that regard your novel tells the story of how bullying is passed on.
Yes, any former victim of bullying has to be careful not to become a bully themselves.
Of course, being dom doesn't equal being a bully.
And I hope your novel is going to make that distinction.
So in order to survive St. Agnes, I'd like to be as dom as necessary and
as little bully as possible.
And I am most curious of what you have in mind for a dom relationship between Tyler and MC.
